Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160/gas 4. Butter and line a 22cm springform cake tin. Beat the butter, sugar, eggs, flour and baking powder until the mixture is light, then beat in the crème fraîche and vanilla. Fold in the raspberries. Spoon the mixture into the tin and level the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the cake is risen, golden and firm. Cool for 5 minutes then release the tin and cool fully. Slide onto a plate or cake stand.
  2. Whisk the cream and mascarpone with the icing sugar until it is stiff but spoonable. Add the apricot jam to the bowl in spoonfuls, dotting it over the surface. Ripple the jam through the cream and spoon it onto the cake in billowy folds.

    Looks delicious and frosting sounds very interesting! Will give it a try.... however 600 calories per serving is a little steep for my summer! But perfect for my BBQ tomorrow!

    Youngest daughter made this cake last night. It was easy to make and tasted wonderful. Didn't bother with the icing though and don't think it affected the end result at all.

    Made this last weekend and it didn't last too long! I substituted Quark[ fat-free soft cream cheese] and half-fat whipping cream for the topping, along with the suggested sieved apricot jam, and don't think the cake suffered as a result. Also, I served the "apricot cream" alongside the cake, instead of on top, and that meant I could keep the cake separately so that it did 2 sittings! will definitely make this again.
